A customer coming back within the same year is a rare and therefore especially valuable sign. A private cheese producer in the Smolensk Region ordered a cheese press from Milberg in February 2020 and, a few months later in the same year, returned for a second contract — for an SP-100 cheese melter.

It all began with a classic task: the farm needed high-quality pressing for its semi-hard cheeses. The press applies even pressure to the cheese wheels, giving the cheese a dense, void-free body and a properly closed rind — the basis for subsequent ripening.

The first experience of working together convinced the customer of the quality of our Yekaterinburg-made equipment, and the next step was to broaden the range: the 100-litre SP-100 cheese melter opened up the processed cheese niche for the producer. In the unit, cheese mass with emulsifying salts is heated and kneaded to a uniform, smooth consistency — turning substandard wheels and trimmings into a fully saleable product.

Two contracts in one year added up to a complete process chain: making — pressing — ripening, with everything not sold as wheels processed into processed cheese. For a small producer, such a zero-waste scheme directly raises the profitability of every batch.
